Jonathan Hill sets out the European Commission's view on reviewing EMIR

"EMIR is a crucial piece of legislation which has helped restore stability and trust in the European Union’s financial markets. Although it has only been in force for a fairly short time, this review gives us an opportunity to see whether we are heading in the right direction and whether anything needs to be done differently. This will help ensure that our efforts have the best possible results." Jonathan Hill
